Here’s an interesting project from Jetpac that goes beyond basic image recognition providing an amazing framework that can recognize a large number of object categories, and quickly be trained to recognize new objects called the DeepBelief SDK.

The DeepBelief SDK has been optimized to run on iOS devices, and is BSD licensed (note: the actual framework itself is not currently open source, but is freely usable in your own apps).

Here’s a video demonstrating the DeepBelief SDK in action:

You can read more about the SDK, the technique used for image recognition, and test out a browser-based (WebGL version) over on the homepage.
